'THE' Song From Yesterday

[GarySTFC]

The one based on Gloria Gaynor's I will survive was given it's debut airing at the Met. Police... For those who appreciated the song but didn't get all the words, they are below. A superb effort penned by our own BFR....

 

At first we were afraid

We were petrified

Been forced out of Wexham Park and couldn't field a side

But Eddie Denton came along

And he made our players strong

He built a side

And now we hold our heads up high

 

In Ian Hodge and Tony Boot

We've the best forwards in the league and they're not afraid to shoot

Alex Haddow getting goals, Glen Harris the new Paul Scholes

Smurf and Daly in defence

And the Milfer's on the bench.

 

Go Slough go, you've made us proud

For as long as Eddie is in charge we'll keep on singing loud

From the sidelines he has led

Even beating Maidenhead

Gilkes and Mickey backing up

And we won the Doxhill Cup

 

Rebels go

And win the league

For as long as Lewes haven't won we mustn't show fatigue

Beat the plods on Saturday

And then Worthing cos they're gay

Then Croydon

It can be done!

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Very good, lots to remember though.

 

What do you do, pass out a songsheet to your boys, how many actually sang it?, and how many remembered the exact words and not just the chorus?

[GarySTFC]

Being as though it was the first airing, there were songsheets for all but the author. Sounded really good under covering, will be even better when we're all in unison singing it!

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Probably the best song, I have heard, alot of effort gone in by BFR hope it takes off for you.

 

Ours are usually not that dificult to remember but are catchy. You get more joining in then.

The Flag.

 

( P.S When we come to your place next season, in Ryman Prem, we will get to hear it then, or at our Cressing Road ground)

[Radders]

No mention of whose brain power and quick thinking managed to get those songsheets then? How rude!!!!!

[Matt]

Would need a bit of re-thinking to get the song to be relevant week after week, but would be absolute quality to get loads of people singing that under a covered terrace !

[GarySTFC]

It's easy enough to get that last verse changed. Expect it to be done by Tuesday night against Worthing!

[Matt]

Only problem is, how to raise an atmosphere at Stag Meadow?

 

By the way, a quick idea... anyone got a supply of blue and yellow balloons?

[GarySTFC]

I was thinking more along the lines of blue and yellow crate paper to lob around the place...

[Emma-STFC]

will attempt to get some blue and yellow balloons and paper for tuesdays match during my lunch break tomorrow

[Matt]

Yeah anything would be good.... but imagine ballons, hundreds of the buggers, irritating the keeper in his goal area!

[Matt]

By the way Gary, great pic.... is that me in the background? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[GarySTFC]

Tis indeed....

[Tuffley Rebel]

I can sort some yellow paper to throw in the air for tuesday night by ripping up my yellow pages.

 

[BFR]

I look just so happy to have my picture taken. You alright after Saturday Matt? You had us worried for a bit.

[Matt]

Aye, all's well, cheers. Trust me to be perfectly fine on the walk, but when it comes to watching the actual game... <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Radders]

Just an excuse to get out of walking round the pitch at half time, wasn't it Matt?

 

Has anyone got any suggestions for how we could change the last verse of the song before tonight. If someone posts an alternative on here this afternoon, I will happily print out a few and bring them along.

 

 

[BFR]

Came up with this yesterday, again it is only suitable for one match but here we go

 

Rebels Go

Lets finish high

For if we can win three points today we wave this league goodbye

Second place is up for grabs

So lets beat these Worthing slags (nothing personal, just fits)

Then Croydon

It can be done

[Radders]

20 copies of the full song now printed and ready to go. Lets hope we can make some noise at 'home' for a change.

[BFR]

good work radders, see you tonight
